A positively charged sphere is suspended between two large metal plates as shown in the diagram. A wire is placed between the poles of a horseshoe magnet and connected to the metal plates. When the wire is drawn horizontally to the right the charged ball is observed to swing toward the right-hand metal plate.
!
!
!
!
a) !
Determine the direction of the induced electron flow in the wire in the horseshoe magnet.
Explain.
!
b) !
Is the top pole of the magnet a north pole or a south pole? Explain.
